Railroad Commissioner.

On tho part Of the board OF railroad
and warehouse commissioners Com.
missioner Gibbs visited this place, as
heretofore appointed. last Thursday
to listen to any complaints the busi'
ness men or farmers Of this section
Of the state might have to make
against tho railway companies, ana
to attend to any other matters within
the jurisdiction Of the board that
might be brought to the notice of the
board. But there was no business
whatever transacted and no griev-
ances reported; whether 1t was be-
cause there were no grievances to re.
port, or that it was due to lack OF In.
terest taken in their owns welfare by
those concerned in railroad or ele va
tor management we are not fully pre-
pared to say. But it Is right to pre-
sumo that there were no complaints
to make, for the farmers of this coun-
ty have heretofore shown themselves
abundautly capable of discerning be-
tween right and wrong in these mat.
ters, and they are not of u kind to
submit silently to any injustic. partic-
ularly when given the opportunity
to be heard before the tribunal
through whom they expect to obtain
redress for any grievances that may
exist.
Yet, while everything is as
nearly as it should be, to judge from
the silence of the ones most con.
cerned, there are. no doubt. many
evils existing in railroad manage
ment; but in this locality they are
not considered of such seriousness as
to warrant an application to the COM
missioners to take arbitrary action
for the relief of sufferers. Many of
the causes for complaint have been
born of time honored costom and
have become sort Of second nature to
the railroad business, but certain it is
such have rapidly disappeared un-
der late agitation and legislative en-
actments. And at the present rate it
cannot be long until public traffic will
be so under governmental control that
there can be no just cause for COM
plant. TO accomplish this end. how.
eve, the masses cannot afford to allow
their interest to abate an iota. It
can never be done but by agitation.

and Randall Lovely, both colored, are
before the United States Commissioner
here to- night standing q preliminary ex-
animation charged with the murder OF
young Tremble last Sunday night at Fort
Gibson, with every prospect Of being
bound over. Marshals Isbeu and Kell
made the arrests to-day at the Fort. 1t
was all the contractors Of the Arkansas
Valley Railway could do to hold the men
from mobing them after their arrest, as
young Tremble was work hand with his
CO -workers. Being assured by the con
tractors that justice would be done and
that nothing would be left undone 10
bring the guilty parties to justice. the
hands allowed the marshals to proceed and
let the law take its course. So
many killings in this country OF late has
almost discouraged parties from trying

think they have no protection from as
